Kurt Bendera

Notes

A member of Voyager's crew, Bendera was a former Maquis ho joined the ship in 2371. He became a friend of Chakotay by backing him up in a confrontation with some miners, even though the two did not know one another. Later he claimed to have done so simply because he enjoyed a good fight. Bendera once saved B'Elanna Torres' life while they were near the Cardassian border. He was killed in 2372 during a Kazon-Nistrim attack on Voyager, the third of Voyager's crew to be lost to the Kazon. His death caused many crewmembers to beliefe that Captain Janeway should seek an alliance with the Kazon by trading weapons technology.1
